Yeah it's a screenplay. Not sure whether it'll be a movie or tv series yet as I'm probably thinking of launching a webseries that focuses on racing as I'm sick of retarded movies like Days of Thunder or Driven ruining racing in screenplay.

If I do make a webseries it'll be tv series format. But a screenplay is a screenplay and (as a graduating film/writing major in college) I already know how to adapt between the two mediums.

Which is why I'm asking for the "drama" aspect of it :P

Are co-drivers views as important to the team too? Or do fans just typically ignore co-drivers and they never get any attention/recognition?

Quote from tristancliffe :

WRC is a bit rubbish now that there are only one or two drivers, and the stages are mostly quite short, so I can understand the personal side - rivalries, physical stamina etc - escaping you.

That's really my problem at the moment. I'm not exactly blaming the sport but I do think the coverages I've seen are fairly crap and boring.

Do you have any stories (or specific seasons i should research) that I can dive into to get the personal sense of rally? (Like Webber v. Vettel 2010)

I have a question. I'm writing a racing script and I'm considering doing it on rally racing.

I've watched some 2011 WRC (specifically Sweden and Portugal) and i have to be very honest... it was very very boring to watch. And I watch NASCAR so I have a high tolerance of repetitive stuff. I apologize to rally fans but beyond the high skill driving I dont find it very interesting as a spectator standpoint.

I've played RBR but beyond the fact that Rally is extremely difficult and there's variation on the races I'm not sure what's so extreme interesting with rally (or WRC).

Where as driver drama is apparent in F1 (2007 Hamilton v. Alonso and 2010 Webber v. Vettel). So does Rally have driver/team drama? What makes rally as a competition interesting to spectators?

Any insights would help and I will continue to watch as much WRC as i can

Yes!!!!!!

Honestly, the best news I've heard about Raikkonen is that he isn't coming over with F.Gillet

Good

I find it personally interesting that Kimi has such a huge fan base.

^ LOL @ the F1 fan comments. To be fair to Montoya, I would disagree that NASCAR is the most exciting but F1 fans (and i mean PURE EXCLUSIVE F1 fans) have been one of the most narrow minded and snobbish group of fans I've ever had the displeasure of running in to. Honestly, I'd rather talk to WWF fans than F1 fans at times and that's really saying something

Quote from DieKolkrabe :

I'd rather see Kimi in Indycars as they need the name boost more than NASCAR IMO

*Not on this forum however

Yeah agree... maybe IndyCar drivers can redeem themselves for what happened with Mansell but I dont mind NASCAR. It's lost me as a fan but I still follow the results. Also having a more more international grid is never a bad thing for NASCAR imho

Quote from DevilDare :

Really baffles me why would anyone want to run circles for the rest of their lives?

Funny... i hear the exact same argument from ball sport fans who bash motorsports... irony here? Anyone?

BTW, just tell me that 2011 Kyoto 250 wasn't exciting. Go on. I dare you

Go over to Race Department to find it. Pretty excited to try it out but I'm at work lolololol

Quote from Mustafur :

Nascar is completely different to what kind of racing hes used to, so starting from the bottom can't truely be that bad for expereince.

Ambrose did the same route worked pretty good for him.

Should Kimi start in ARCA tho? I think that's a better introduction to him than Trucks. I mean... a few people have crashed and burned trying to get in from the trucks (Jacques Villeneuve)

Quote from MAGGOT :

I miss Champ Car... that was some more or less entertaining racing. Shame the series' had to merge, I always hated IRL. I was more hoping IRL would just go away.

Honestly ChampCar in mid 2000 was one of the most talentless and boring series I've ever seen. I'm not saying Indy in mid 2000 was better because Indy in mid 2000 was basically 100% oval and that was horribly boring.

CART was the best and Indy's getting closer and closer to CART and that's what I'm seeing. Honestly? I'm loving it. It certainly has drawn me away from nascar

Quote from MAGGOT :

[EDIT] 9 of 17 rounds are road courses... That's a big improvement over the first season or two after the merger IIRC... good sign. They should bring back Mont Tremblant, though.

Ummm.... they've actually been that way since 2009... (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2 ... 9_IndyCar_Series_schedule) so... sounds like you just started bashing IRL before you actually know about what's been going on since the merger? Typical ChampCar fanboy tbh

Just click race 1 there

Quote from PMD9409 :

Grats to top 4 in Duel #2, very close racing. Also grats to Mr. Kapal for passing on the FINAL straight in order to race in the Kyoto 250. Absolutely awesome!

Yeah congrats on the final transfer spot, you deserved it

But man I have a lot of work to do for the K250 Honestly gutted that I fell from form so badly... Not sure what I'm doing wrong but T3 is killing me all of a sudden. Cant keep tyre temperatures below 95. I heard from Thilo that I'm in the field. So I'll practice hard to try to find out how to do things right so I dont become a moving chicane in the 250

Quote from mutt107 :

what time are they at?(central time if possible please)

Just wake up early tomorrow and keep an eye on this forum section. If you really want to race then just be vigilant on checking this forum tomorrow morning

Quote from mutt107 :

Any chance i could still sign up?

I can't speak for deko but i assume yes as there will be a few practice sessions tomorrow. But you MUST complete two practice sessions by tomorrow or you will not be allowed to race

And of course... my skin for the 250

Right... was wondering if there will be more practice sessions before qualifying or did I just screwed my chance at taking part in the K250? Was waiting for more but there's only been 5 so far.

Will there be more?
